An exciting jazz-age crime novel about Arthur Barry, "the greatest jewel thief who ever lived" (Life Magazine). He charmed everyone from the Rockefellers to members of the royal family, planning and executing the most daring and lucrative robberies of the 1920s. In seven years, the Prince of Thieves stole diamonds, pearls and precious stones worth a total of almost 60 million dollars. Immaculately elegant, incredibly courteous, with refined manners, everyone liked him, but he only liked jewelry. It's also a love story. The only love of my life. Barry confessed to dozens of burglaries (and was the prime suspect in many others) to protect his wife, Anna Blake. Sentenced to a long term, he organized an escape from prison when Anna became seriously ill so that they could spend a few more years together, even if it cost him seventeen years of a new sentence. "Catch Me if You Can", "The Great Gatsby" and "Lupin" seemed to come together in this fascinating story about an irresistible criminal.
